Russian Roulette
Chapter 11: The Simple Truth
Hiei's Point Of View
" Kurama!!" I yelled happily as I walked into class. I twirled around the classroom to my seat, next to Kurama.
" What're you so happy about this morning?" Kurama asked, looking up from his book.
" Oh you know..." I grinned. I put my middle and my index finger on my lips and winked girlishly.
" You're freaking me out, stop it." He said, closing his book.
" I'm just messing with you. I got paid today. You want to go ditch 7th and 8th period and we can go out for some cheesepie or some strawberry mondays!"
" You mean cheesecake and sunades."
" Cheesecake? But it's a pie."
" One of the many mysteries."
" How about it then?"
" 7th period is PE and 8th period we have a test."
" Oh right...then do you want to come over for ramen or something?"
" You just want to spend time with me."
" Well of course."
" Since you're trying so hard, I guess I'll come over for some ramen."
" Really? Great. I missed you yesterday."
He blushed. " Umm, I missed you too."
" Class! It's time to start our lesson."
[In The Locker Room; PE]
" I hate these stupid PE shorts."
" Why?"
" They show my thighs and I don't want to tan too much."
" You're already darker then me." (It's true, Hiei is tanner then Kurama! *pays too much attention*)
" And you're taller then me."
" Argh!! I don't know what to do with my hair! I am thinking about cutting it all off!!" Kurama yelled, pulling at his long red locks.
" WHAT!? WHY!?" I yelled, sniffling as I took off my uniform shirt and put on my PE shirt.
" I can't run with it long. It gets in my face." He sighed. I put on my PE shorts and tried to make them as long as possible. I was glad we didn't have those underwear ones like the girls. At least ours went to our knees.
" Put it in a ponytail." I said.
" I don't know how to do hair." Kurama sighed. I pulled a hairtie out of my bag and a brush.
" I used to do Yukina's hair when we were little. I'll do it for you."
" Where do you get all this stuff?"
" Yukina always forgets where her hair things are so I carry them with me. Hold still." I said, pulling his hair back and tying it quickly.
" Wow. Thank you Hiei." He smiled. " Come on, we're going to be late."
" Hiei! Can you run with Natsumi and I today?" Yukina asked me when we got out onto the track.
" Erm...I don't know. Kurama wanted me to run with him today."
" But you always run with Kurama. Come on...run with us today!" Yukina smiled.
" I'll run with you the first lap, then can I run with Kurama?"
" Fine." Yukina said in a quieter tone.
" You don't mind Kurama?" I asked him.
" Nope. Go on ahead." Kurama smiled.
" Thanks." I said as he started his lap.
" You and Kurama sure have been getting along great lately." Yukina sighed.
" I guess we have. He's a really sexy...I MEAN...nice guy once you get to know him."
" Right..." Yukina glared.
[After PE; In the Locker Room.]
" I think Yukina is suspicious of us..."
" You think so?"
" Yeah, I accidentally called you sexy in front of her."
" Stupid! That's a dead give away."
" You should take it as a compliment." I smiled. Kurama sat down on the bench. I sat next to him and kissed his cheek.
" Take what?"
" I called you sexy." I whispered, licking his ear lobe.
" Hiei...we're at school." Kurama whined, blushing madly. I turned him to face me and kissed him softly. I pulled his hair out of his ponytail that I did and brushed back some of his bangs.
" I'll let you hide your pink face." I smiled.
" Hiei...you're embarassing me."
" Sorry." I grinned. I quickly got dressed and Kurama walked over to our 8th period class. All of these girls kept coming up to Kurama and giving him notes and giggles and hugs.
" Kurama! Will you go out on a date with me?" One of the girls asked.
" I can't, sorry."
" Please take this Kurama! It's a present for you."
" Erm...Thank you Sana."
" Ooh, take this too!" Another girl whined.
" Thank you too Rika."
" I hope you like it." They smiled, skipping off.
" It's chocolates, you want 'um?" Kurama asked me during our snack break.
" Mmm, sure!" I smiled, taking them.
" What's the deal with you and Yukina? You guys haven't been talking much lately."
" That always happens around the time of our parents' wedding anniversary."
" Hmmm? Really? Why?"
" Yukina and I always seem to get along, but there is this bond of hatrid and jealousy between us."
" From what?" he said, looking up from his book.
" Well, Yukina was the daddy's girl, I was the mommy's boy. I loved my mother and hated my father and vise versa for Yukina. My father would beat my mom, Yukina would hit her too, I would protect mother and she would protect me. But one day, father killed himself. He was a big drinker and a heavy gambler and he killed himself playing a game of Russian Roulette. Mother was so happy he was dead--Ummm, if this is getting too graphic for you I can stop."
" No, no, continue." He said, quite interested.
" Mother was happy he was dead, so happy she didn't even bother to give him a proper funeral. She just buried him in the backyard. After he had shot himself, mother stabbed him out of anger, even though he was already dead and she accidently sliced my forehead in the process. Yukina cried and cried over father. She wouldn't eat anything mother cooked, wore anything mother made so it ate her up inside. Yukina basically killed our mother. She couldn't take anymore and two years ago, she hung herself on the same day as our father played Russian Roulette."
" Wow, what a sad story."
" It's a living. I am not sad by it. But Yukina still is. She and I both wish we didn't pick sides or none of this would have happened. It's a regret type thing."
" I hope you don't mind me feeling a bit bad for you. I know you don't like being felt sorry for."
" It's no problem. But now that I can tell the story, it sounds kind of cool. You're the first person I ever told it to."
" Really?"
" Nobody wants to hear the story about dilusional parents and psychotic children. That's why I consider myself sick and twisted."
" I don't think you're like that at all. Believe it or not, I actually think you're sweet."
" To you, I'm nice. I would never do anything to hurt you and I want to keep it that way. I hope you aren't scared of me because of my little tale."
" Nope. I think I'm more attracted to you."
" You were less attracted to me before?" I muttered.
" Of course not."
" Hiei!" Yukina yelled, walking onto the balcony.
" Yuki?"
" Since when were you so open about our family matters!"
" Kurama's my friend, I can tell him what I want."
" Friend huh? Don't lie. You guys have something going on don't you?"
" What are you talking about? Don't get in over your head."
" You and Kurama are going out aren't you."
" And so what if we were?"
" Hiei...no." Kurama whispered.
" It'd be the biggest talk of the school, that's what. Most popular boy dating the rogue murderer."
" Yukina!" I yelled, slapping her.
" What? You're going to hit me too? You're going to kill me too!?" Yukina yelled. " Don't act like nobody knows!"
" You-You didn't..." I stuttered.
" And why wouldn't I?" Yukina glared. I looked at Kurama, who was full of confusion. I couldn't take that look. I slammed my hand in the concrete wall, shattering in a giant hole next to Yukina's head and ran off, not knowing where in the world I was going.
